COVID-19: Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy Wage Applications Open April 27

As a Canadian employer whose business has been affected by COVID-19, you may be eligible for a subsidy of 75% of employee wages for up to 12 weeks, retroactive from March 15, 2020, to June 6, 2020.

This wage subsidy will enable you to re-hire workers previously laid off as a result of COVID-19, help prevent further job losses, and better position you to resume normal operations following the crisis.

To help businesses determine coverage, a subsidy calculator has been added to the CRA website at https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/subsidy/emergency-wage-subsidy.html
